Sousa is at present on another ot his transcontinental tours and will visit every state and territory in the Union, playing daily concerts without intermission until the Ist of next May. On these famous tours Sousa never fails to stop off at his old home in this city and give one of his best programs. At no place in the country is the musician so popular as here in Washington, which is saying a great deal, for he Is today the most admired of com- posers, his music being appreciated alike by the trained artists and critics and by the great common people. Sousa has learned the secret of stirring the public heart, not by artifice and not by shallow pretense, but by a direct and simple appeal to the purest and best sentiments that music can evoke. Sousa's concerts are always welcomed in Washington by all who love music, and he is always assured of a crowded house. The well-kno leader has brought his organi- zation up to the highest standard of effi- ciency. His careful work with his men in the past few years is now bearing its fruits in the precise and technically well-executed selections that follow the wave of his ton. Sou: nd needs no commenda- fon to the ¥ ton people, It is enough ay that thi ar he is accompanied by loists, who will add to the general attractive: of the program pre- pared for concert tomorrow.

ATTEMPTS TQ: KILL HERSELF Bash Act of Miss Gracé Gilmor, Olerk in Swallows Tablet of Bichloride of Mercury—Wilk-Be Sent to Pri- vate Sqnitagium. -A broken heart amd dissipation are said to be the prime causés which led to the at- tempt of Miss Grace’ H. Gilmor, a clerk in the pension office, ta take her life. Up to a year ago Miss Gilmor had led an exem- plary life. She was well known for her charity in the neighborhood where she re- .sided and counted her friends by the score. Then, {t is said, she met a man who per- suaded her to drink, and {t was not long before she was confirmed in the habit. This man, it is understood, had a peculiar fascination for the girl, and so firmly did she believe in him that she made over her life insurance to him, and then, when he deserted her, tried to commit suicide. Bui for the prompt and energetic efforts of a physician her efforts would have beemsuc- cessful. She chose as the medium for cutting short her earthly career a tablet of bichlor- ide of mercury, a deadly poison used, when dissolved in a quantity of water, as an an- useptic. These tablets come in tiny blue bottles, and Miss Gilmor found no trouble in pro- curing one. At Schiller & Stevens’ drug store the clerk refused to sell except upon a physician's prescription, but at another store, even though she was particular to ask how many it would require to kill, the druggist permitted her to have them. Swallows a Tablet. The attempt to take her life was made in the office of a dentist, a friend of hers. She swallowed a tablet, and then, when discovered, left the cflice. Police head- quarters was tmmediately notified, a de- tective was put on the case and Miss Gil- mor was followed. She went into another drug store and called for a bottle of the tablets, and, being refused, left.
